The Paralympics in Sochi are coming up two weeks after the Olympics end and the US sled hockey team is expected to be very competitive.

“Ice Warriors: USA Sled Hockey,” an hour-long PBS documentary, features two Colorado athletes, friends from high school who were injured in the same car accident that necessitated amputations for both boys. Now, Tyler Carron of Fort Collins and Nikko Landeros of Johnstown are teammates, playing what they call “murderball on blades.”

Many of the team members are wounded vets, some were born disabled. All are shown preparing for the Winter Games in Sochi.

The hour aims to give viewers a new appreciation of the adaptive sports movement.

“”Ice Warriors” will challenge preconceptions and assumptions about the capabilities of people with disabilities and help celebrate the contributions that paralympians make to sports and to their countries,” said WGBH Executive Producer Judith Vecchione.

Tyler Carron (#11, Defenseman) and wrestling teammate Nikko Landeros (#15, Defenseman) were wrestling teammates and friends in high school. They went through rehab together after their accident, tried out for the U.S. Sled Hockey team together, and are once again teammates.
